After hearing about Johannes Jülg from K-P Keller, other prominent wine makers, merchants and sommeliers, our interest was piqued. This curiosity lead us to a special Riesling and Pinot 'rising star' estate that has half of its vineyards in France and half in Germany! Johannes is third generation and enthusiastically took over the 20ha estate in 2010, after 7 years of experience working at Keller, Clemens Busch and Clos des Lambrays amongst others. Johannes is an energetic, deep-thinking and enthusiastic vigneron, who abides by no recipe for any wine, but prefers to listen and watch, and follow what nature, the vines and the soils dictate.
This riesling (Vom Kalk = from the limestone/chalk) is a masterclass in texture. A strong belief in phenolic ripeness and gentle extraction (by feet!), as well as the use of both stainless steel and old oak results in a wine of purity and honesty that provide bright expressions of terroir. Similarities can more easily be drawn with the wines of the Rheinhessen than with the more geographically proximate Alsace. Try it for yourself!
